Restoring a Paint Sprayer Air Compressor | Bringing a DeVilbiss Tuffy NCE-501 Totally Back to Life

I took an old DeVilbiss Tuffy paint spray compressor model NCE-501 with a 1/3 Hp GE Motor and restored it. The Process: I started by completely tearing down the compressor assembly to take inventory of all the parts that needed replaced. To my surprise, the only things that needed replaced were a grommet and the rubber feet. Even the diaphragm looked usable. I then scrubbed all the dirt and grim off all the parts. I noticed most of the old paint came off so I decided to completely remove the old paint with sand paper. I also used a drill mounted brush to help speed things up. I then painted all the parts trying to keep true to the original colors. I think a different orange would have been better, but hind sight. . . Once all the parts were painted, I reassembled everything. I had to use stoppers for the feet since I could not find any rubber feet that matched. I drilled a counter bore and then a small hole all the way through. I used some longer 1/4 20 screws to replace the shorter ones from the old rubber feet. I think the added height from the taller rubber is a benefit. I made sure everything was tight. I finished it off by cleaning up the wiring and adding a switch cover for safety.
